Just bought a new Windows 8 machine? Excited by the start screen tiles and are an active Facebook user? Microsoft has a tool that enables one to create personalised Windows 8 start screen cover photos, using contact photos and other personal content from a connected account.

Once everything is in order, users are able to choose from a range of colours and then changes a number of tiles to choose different options and manipulate the end result. The best part about the tool is that each and every Facebook user can create a different image to use on their profile.

Please note that by using the service you are allowing Microsoft to access your profile to extract personal details. Have you used the Windows 8 tool? Be sure to show off what you managed to achieve in the comments.

This is a nice app, but they take only your first and last name for the login part.
In many places, people use first name and two last names. In my case, it is choosing my second last name and as last name. I guess I will not be using it until they change that.
